i want to buy a 7200 rpm 120 gb hardirve and install it in my xbox but i have heard it will heat up. i also have heard that it will be fine. i dunno wut to do. any answers?
thank u

I have a 7200 rpm and i havent used it several days now and no problems...but i heard if you get 7200 then you prolly wanna upgrade your cooling system....which is easy...i dunno if it would make a diffference between 5400 to 7200 but my loading screens are almost subliminal haha, good luck

The temperature does go a bit higher, but still well within safe levels (if you don't block your cooling vents).
You can increase the fan speed by editing the bios if you want (default speed is 20%, so 40-60% is a good option - otherwise it is too loud).

i have a 7200rpm hard drive and my mobo/hdd temps are always under 100 with cpu peaking at 110. hdd is normally around 80. this is with a 72cfm 80mm fan blowing 100% though
